The effective two-photon absorption in the hybrid material comprising quantum dots (QDs) in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix and gold nanorods (GNRs) was increased 12-fold due to nonlinear energy transfer from GNR plasmons to QD excitons.

The influence of illumination with 365[Formula: see text]nm ultraviolet light on two-photon absorption (TPA) of aqueous Co[Formula: see text] doped CdTe (CdTe:Co) quantum dots (QDs) is studied. The results show that with the increase of illumination time, the TPA cross section of the CdTe:Co QDs increases. The experimental results suggest that this enhancement is due to the reduction of surface nonradiative traps which is consistent with the formation of CdS shell on the surface of CdTe:Co QDs. Meanwhile, the results indicate that aqueous CdTe:Co QDs have good optical limiting and optical stabilization performances. This provides a strategy of TPA enhancement by illumination.

A new porphyrintetrathiafulvalene composite, where two porphyrins are bridged by te trathiafulvalene (TTF) using acetylene bonds was synthesized. The Q-band of the monomeric porphyrin appears at 590 nm whereas that of the composite is red-shifted to 620 nm and intensified. The Soret band is also red-shifted from 427 nm to 435 nm and much broadened, indicating the expansion of π-conjugation over the porphyrin and tetrathiafulvalene units. The HOMOs and LUMOs were calculated using time-dependent density functional theory. Voltammetric experiments revealed that the first oxidation potential of the TTF moiety in the composite was shifted by +155 mV compa red with TTF in the absence of composite. The effective two-photon absorption (2PA) cross section values were measured by using a nanosecond open aperture Z-scan method. The maximum effective 2PA cross section values were obtained at 760 nm, as 7300 GM in benzonitrile and 5900 GM in toluene. The values obtained in the polar solvent were 1.2 to 1.5 times larger than those in the nonpolar solvent.
